Maybe this is how our 70 year old worthless people under Obamacare will need to handle the new National Health Cost Control Board bureaucrats. They could bring their 12 gauge with them and give those Bureau of Early Death appointees some free end of life counseling of their own.

Gus Augusto saved the lives of his employees and himself. Period end of stories. 2 sub-human pieces of filth gone and 2 more with battle-damage to hopefully never do it again and will most likely get the max. I applaud this man for what he did even though is came at a great cost to his personal safety and mental well-being. He said he didn't wish he had to do it, but he did it. May God bless him and heal him and his workers.

Liberals and leftists tend to squeal like stuck pigs about weapons, specifically guns whenever they are used for self-protection. Therefore, they should hold try to their convictions and make anyone and everyone around them or may come in contact with them that they are unwilling or incapable of using a firearm or weapon of any kind for self-defense. So it is in their best interests to post this fact wherever they are, namely in their places of business or their homes. Just post a big fat sign that proclaims that any criminals are now entering a gun-free or weapons-free zone. Make sense now?

I will be very disappointed if Obama mentions this case at any point in the next two weeks -- unless it is to pardon the shopkeeper -- if things ever progress to the point where the shopkeeper needs a pardon (I don't see why he should).

Interesting counterpoint to the NYT's constant anti-gun drumbeat -- the most recent theme of which is how America should change its laws because Mexican druglords are arming themselves here. More interesting still because in Manhattan you need the clout of A.G.'s grandfather (or Andrew Cuomo) to get a carry permit for a handgun.
